REALLY feeling better about the spring

When Boston gets its spring on, it does it in a beautiful way. I love the magnolias that line Commonwealth Avenue and Beacon Street. These are on Comm Ave. Absolutely voluptuous blossoms–they’re almost vulgar.And this next picture just tickles me. Along Comm Ave, we saw a delightful statue of a black Labrador peeking out between the balusters. Notice that there’s also a bronze tennis ball just to the left…

As we were admiring the statue, we heard a voice coming from the second-floor balcony. “Here’s the real one!!” she said, and a friendly black Lab stuck his head out between those balusters and barked hello.
